A clear golden yellow with a small white head. Smell is of wet tropical fruit, surprisingly fruity. Carbed, yet subdued. Lots of yeasty notes that are something like charcoal and fruit. Medium body and low to medium carb.

Interesting hybrid of a lager and ale, lots of ale flavor but a certain lagerness.

note:this was the first California Common I have had.

A new one from my boys, so excited to finally to get to try this one. One of a few up at Barleys last night, consumed on 02/09/2010.

The pour was bout what I would expect given the style. Nice golden amber in color with a two finger head of white on top that really just sat there wonderfully, settling slowly and yielding a wonderful amount of light lacing down the sides of the glass. Aroma was a touch light for me. Light bready grains, hints of muted herbal hops. Nice touch of light caramel sweetness and a healthy dose of fresh grass coming in on the nose. Crisp, clean, refreshing and light flavor, just what I would have wanted in a lager. Nice medium to light feel just really hit the spot quite well, leaving me refreshed and pleased at the same time. So clean of a flavor, buttery, sweet and bready, just a very well done and nicely session able lager.

Overall while it may not go down in the book as my favorite of all Pisgah offerings, it will rank very high on the scale of drinkability. I could have thrown down a pitcher of this with ease. Stunning.

D-Easy drinking and smooth. This is the perfect BBQ, lawnmower, summertime gathering, cross-over brew. Light and simple with enough flavour to keep even the most hardcore craft lover interested! Great job by the crazy Pisgah crew!
